Lyryx Co. reconciled its bank statement balances of Cash on October 31 and showed two cheques outstanding
Question:
From the November 30 bank statement:
BALANCE OF PREVIOUS STATEMENT ON OCT. 31/14.................106,980
5 DEPOSITS AND OTHER CREDITS TOTALLING......................... 63,568
9 CHEQUES AND OTHER DEBITS TOTALLING...........................123,873
CURRENT BALANCE AS OF NOVEMBER 30/14 ........................... 46,675
From Lyryx Co.'s accounting records:
Cheque #1404 was correctly written for $2,601 to pay for computer equipment: however, the bookkeeper misread the amount and entered it in the accounting records with a debit to Computer Equipment and a credit to Cash as though it were for $6,201.
The NSF cheque was originally received from a customer, Jerry Skyles, in payment of his account. Its return was not recorded when the bank first notified the company. The credit memorandum resulted from the collection of a $10,700 note for Lyryx by the bank. The bank had deducted a $150 collection fee. The collection has not been recorded.
Required
